 * I would oppose a merger now, because the article stands Striking US workers by year on its own and uses BLS as a high quality source. It satisfies WP:LIST and lists strikes, which is different from a general labor history that is in prose format

 * I oppose the merger on the basis of the article being sufficiently developed at this point to stand on it's own. As became the general agreement among most near the end of the initial discussion.

 * Oppose The article is far different than the one that went to AFD. It went from 5,080 bytes to the 22,792 bytes its at now.  I started added in links to various articles for different strikes, LoomCreek then did the rest of the work.  Too much valid content to merge over.   D r e a m Focus  18:26, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

In the first question about Force Power job?
I am appreciate those people working with power lines in big right risk with electric power and have to fly with helicopters very close to the powe line’s, and have to get out the helicopters and take biggest steps and decisions to not make any mistakes and have to make the job very difficult control and bigger concentration to get the job done.

Now I’m going to answer the question about you asking if I think USA be Socialist about Labor Day? My answer is Yes? Total alone with Labor Day and way USA not salubrious Labor Day in may first? Every country in the world celebrating same day. 2600:1700:9770:CF20:3894:7353:B264:DF35 (talk) 19:59, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Worth referencing some of the early mill strikes?
It seems to me that some of the first organized strikes and collective worker action in the US were by the Factory Girls, especially the Lowell Mill Girls strikes of 1834 and 1836. The role of women (the first mass-employee group in the industrial revolution) is understated in this article. Thoughts? 2600:4040:50A1:FB00:41D1:E15A:650B:F2FE (talk) 22:26, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Haymarket affair
The section on the Knights of Labor has a couple paragraphs on the Haymarket affair but some of it conflicts with that page. There are much better descriptions on other pages like the Labor Day and Eight-hour day pages. Also, this page needs more citations throughout. 184.96.157.202 (talk) 00:42, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes
It would be worth writing about the recent WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in the rise in union activity section. These strikes have been quite high-profile and a big indicator of a reinvigoration of unions. Dieguito121 (talk) 23:34, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

article should be renamed to "Organized Labor history of the United states"
I was expecting to read about the history of US labor in general. but the article focused only on unions and organized labor. 149.88.27.149 (talk) 02:18, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
